Dmancornell, yes I know we're on a gun forum, and I have in fact, "used my guns" to possibly save my life in one instance! Have you? Or do you just spout hate for cops?
Dmancornell, you should watch Chris Rock's video, "How NOT to get beat up by cops!". Seems it was aimed at smart boys like you.
If your people didn't talk shit to cops when they get stopped there would be lot less black folks getting shot!
Didn't see any white friend, just saw two black guys, one was smart ass know it all black thug, he talked shit to the cops and got his ass beat! Other black guy talked respectful to the cop and got sent on his way! I think I know which one of the black guys YOU are!
I speak & understand ENGLISH pretty well, ebonics & ghetto not so well, Dman. LOL!
Reminds me of an old joke. Two guys are pulled over and one talks smack to the cop, who pulls him out of the car and beats the crap out of him. He then snatches the other guy out and beats the crap out of him.
Second guy goes: " Why did you beat me up? I didn't say anything." Cop says: " Because I know how you guys are, I wouldn't be a mile down the road ,and you'd be telling your buddy you wished I had tried that shit on you."
Police brutality and criminality sure is hilarious!
Comedy has historically been used to bring light to, or deal with, terrible situations.
Just looks at Monty Python skits about the spanish inquisition, Sara Silverman did a dressed as hitler and did a black face skit before she went full SJW, Eddie Izzard did jokes making light of Hitler, Richard Pryer (enough said), etc.
I don't see why the joke posted should be off limits any more than the examples listed. Comedy has been an important tool in dealing with some of the darkest and toughest issues society had faced. Even the Chris Rock skit that has been mentioned used comedy as a way to push the message that if you don't act like a fool your odds of having an issue with LE is extremely small. If you act like a fool you are far more likely to have problems.

I told that joke to a classroom full of cops (25 years ago) and everybody laughed.
Yes, comedy is used to highlight terrible problems. For example, the point of the Chris Rock skit is used to what he perceived to be racism within police departments (ride with a white friend) and sarcastic disapproval of police brutality in response to contempt of cop (don't speak out if you don't want your ass beat).
I wonder how many of those cops went out and actually did it. I bet it is more than zero.
What exactly is the punch line of this joke? Is there any actual social commentary here (like with the Chris Rock skit) or just a direct warning to uppity civilians to respect the uniform?
I think you saw that skit through a different lens than just about everybody else who watched it.
